Our body is an amazing thing and there's so much more to discover about it than meets the eye.
The Amazing Body Detectives is a fun and informative insight into the inner and outer world of our bodies. No nook and cranny is left undiscovered, no goosebump left unexplored. We all know that we all have unique fingerprints, but did you know that we also have a unique tongue print Did you know that when you are awake, the human brain has enough electricity whizzing about to power a light bulb Our eyelashes have little creatures living on them come and take a look at them!
Following on from BUG DETECTIVE, this follows the same interesting, fun and informative look at different parts of the body. Hidden elements appear on every page making this interactive and enjoyable. Taking a more lighthearted approach than many other books on the market, this book covers the key facts with fun and humour, as well as dispelling the myths.
